Page 1 of 1 The new 2005 Saab 9-2X is the next significant step in the biggest product development program in Saab's history. Saab - the fastest growing European premium car brand in the American market- recently launched the 9-3 Sport Sedan and 9-3 Convertible model ranges. Now the new 9-2X continues this product offensive.

With standard full-time all-wheel-drive, powerful engines, and distinctive European design, the Saab 9-2X is a unique and early offering in a car segment just emerging in the American market: the premium sports compact segment. The first Saab 9-2X models will go on sale in the U.S. and Canada July 1, 2004 - ahead of many competitors who are also bringing products to this market.

For many customers, the Saab 9-2X will be their first premium brand vehicle as prices start below $25,000. In addition, customer surveys show that up to 40 percent of all Americans are looking for all-wheel-drive in their next vehicle - a feature standard in all Saab 9-2X models, a distinct advantage as Saab enters this new segment.
